A guide to temporary messages such as toast notifications, snackbars, banners, and inline alerts. It explains which kind of message fits different situations and how to make temporary feedback accessible.

In plain words
What is it for?
Designing or reviewing success messages, background-operation feedback, non-blocking errors, undo prompts, and notification placement.
Why use it?
It prevents important errors or instructions from being hidden in messages that disappear too quickly. It also helps avoid using toasts for actions that need confirmation or lasting attention.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

canon-toasts scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CANON · Toasts

A toast is cheap feedback for safe actions. It is not the answer to every UI question. Before reaching for a toast, ask whether an inline message, banner, or silence would serve better.

When to use a toast

Use a toast Don't use a toast
Confirm a reversible action with optional Undo Confirm a destructive action (use modal)
Show a background success ("Message sent") Show a critical error needing action (use inline or modal)
Report completion of an async operation Communicate persistent state (use banner)
Flash a brief info message ("Copied to clipboard") Give instructions ("Now do step 2")
Surface a non-blocking error ("Couldn't save draft") Confirm something users must definitely see

Rule of thumb: toasts should never interrupt and never be required for the user to see. If users must see it, it's not a toast.

Toast vs banner vs inline vs modal

Pattern Persistence Location Use
Toast Auto-dismiss Edge of viewport Transient feedback
Banner Stays until action or dismissed Top of page/section Persistent system state (you're offline, your subscription expired)
Inline Attached to related element Within flow Validation errors, field-level hints
Modal Blocks until resolved Overlay Critical decisions

Wrong pattern picks waste attention. Offline? Banner, not toast. Form field error? Inline, not toast.

Duration

Toast length Duration
Short (1–4 words) 3 seconds
Default (short sentence) 4 seconds
With action (has Undo/Retry button) 5–7 seconds
Persistent (on user demand) Until dismissed

The timer pauses on hover and focus — critical for screen reader + motor-impaired users.

Material snackbar default is 4 seconds without action, 10 seconds with action. Modern practice trends shorter (4–6).

Position

Position Use
Bottom-center Mobile, single-column apps
Bottom-right Desktop web, dashboards
Top-right Desktop apps that use bottom for primary content
Top-center Safari mobile back button conflict, avoid

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
